@coolboymew Firefox is currently having a 'shopping experience' sidebar integrated. I believe this is the result of buying Fakespot, a company who made a thing to sus out fake reviews.
@mischievoustomato Shit like this makes me want to go back to Vivaldi. As a Nightly user I can see incoming changes.

@xianc78 @mischievoustomato @olmitch @thatbrickster yes, it's all fucking shareware

It wouldn't be bad if it was a handful of programs, but all Mac only programs (that aren't also on windows/Linux) are all fucking like this. It's fucking terrible. I can just fuck off to Windows or Linux and do all this shit for free
@coolboymew @xianc78 @mischievoustomato @olmitch @thatbrickster the pro version of this is hilarious because you don't get many features. I had to use it on my Mac pro 1,1 because the fan curve sucks ass

@Pawlicker @xianc78 @mischievoustomato @olmitch @thatbrickster I know this one, had to use it at work to test some shit out, but it just turns out that mac processors are used to go to 100 degrees and the fans will prevent it from going up

But that's another example of some shit you gotta pay to get full access

@coolboymew @mischievoustomato @olmitch @thatbrickster Who even uses Mac-exclusive software (besides the ones that come with the system)? Pretty much everything that isn't a AAA video game has a Mac version.

@xianc78 @mischievoustomato @olmitch @thatbrickster there's a bunch of Mac specific stuff you'd like to use, like the fancontrol thing, a Mac diagnostic software where much needed advanced features are locked, etc etc
@xianc78 @mischievoustomato @olmitch @thatbrickster as said most open source stuff on mac is linux stuff or stuff that's everywhere already
@mischievoustomato @xianc78 @coolboymew @thatbrickster there's a ton of stuff on iOS and Mac that is open source that I want to use. Like UTM for example https://getutm.app/
